Week 25 Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I hope that you have kept warm and dry throughout the past week. As we so easily forget, winter seems to arrive late each year and briefly replaces spring until April arrives to remind us that summer is on its way. With that in mind, the busy but fun-filled weeks ahead are guaranteed to fly by and it will be April and Spring Break before we know it. Here’s what we got up to this week along with some important upcoming dates to diarise.
